It Will Always Be That Way.

It's been a long, busy, interesting week... I've been in California... near Hollywood.  Of course I was only 3 hours from where I live... Both California and Hollywood are cities in Maryland.. It was an awesome facility. I was there to learn more about my role as a union steward. I did learn quite a bit. The training was very intensive. We started on Sunday. Our days started at 7am.. and went to sometimes 8 or 9 pm at night.  Then there was the "Feedback Inn". It was an open bar that was open from 8 - 11pm. Most of us went there to network with the fellow stewards in training, as well as the instructors. I skipped this most nights as I was worn out, and it wasn't mandatory. The training was well worth it... but it will take me a few days to get back to my normal self.

I am currently binge-watching Reign.. it is an interesting storyline but doesn't really follow historical records. That is the way with most TV, even with "reality" shows. That is why I don't watch any of that. I don't watch the news anymore either because most of it has so much slant politically. Politics play too much in the lives of everyone. It causes discourse in so many ways. But even though this show brings to light so much of the political unrest of the time, it also brings forth the truth that political agendas have always been a major source of war and unrest. I suppose it will always be that way.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

I'm Looking Forward To A New Year.

Been through ice the last few days... lots of time to take off between now and the end of the year... but I will get it in. I tend to not worry about much of anything lately. There's no need.. life is perfect... or at least headed in a perfect direction. I am still irritated at my boss and don't feel that I can truly talk to her without wanting to slap some sense into her... and I'm not a violent person... I don't like the feelings she provokes in me. I haven't felt those feelings before. I would never contemplate seriously hurting anyone on purpose... but with her.. I just want answers... show me WHY you would do such a thing. Not a whole lot I can do about it now.. I will just ride it out until I can go elsewhere... it won't be much longer anyway. I got new glasses yesterday. They are the first plastic frames I've had in 30+ years... black and simple. I actually am growing to like them in a hurry. I spent my time driving to and from the city on the phone...
